For those of you feeling nostalgic about the past times, Peepo! is a must read. Acorn class have enjoyed this story and looking through the pictures comparing family life from a long time ago to that one of the modern days.
We had fun making porridge and most children enjoyed it and topped it with fresh fruit.
We have introduced an afternoon of activities that aim to develop the children's fine and gross motor skills.
Can you balance the marble on the towers? Can you pick the marbles with tweezers?
Can you fill the top of the Duplo tiles with water using pipettes?
Can you cut following the patterns?
Can you walk and balance on your heels?
Can you walk and balance on your tip-toes?
Elsewhere we have been busy with our Phonics as usual.
In Maths, we have been measuring and one of our independent challenges was to build play dough snakes the same length as different brick towers.
Friday and we were back in the Woods with Steve... today we were looking at different leaves and flowers, but also found some treasures that are definitely best just looked at rather being touched.
Finally, following on from our book, we started to talk about the kinds of toys that the children played with, many of them were very different to what we have, so we set to work designing and making our own peg dolls, brilliant job everyone.
Have a wonderful weekend.
